The Spring Orchestra

Chapter Two
The night started at slow pace, I was again amazed by the flooding of bright light into the jungle. The edges of the valley shined white and I could see the tall trees against that light. They were huge trees and light was just flooding from the gaps where ever possible. That was full moon night, and I felt really blessed to see a huge moon climbing up the trees. The moon was on the horizon of the valley and entire valley flooded with its beautiful light. I was able to see entire valley and almost any creature if it would have come in the valley. Now I was sitting in great auditorium, with a great stage, an orchestra and tiny singers. The physics plays very important role in rolling varies sounds in the forests. The sound travels farther in forest by resonating through canopies which makes them mystique. Soon the moon climbed in the sky and air become cooler with increasing wind flow. This wind brought another singer to this orchestra, the grass. The other side of the valley had steep slope with a grass taller than a meter. The rustling sound of the grass added a flavour in the music. Now the stream, the frogs and the rustling grass and the moon light made it a never before stage. I was in the land of nature and left my so called civilized world and became a lone human spectator.
My eyes became drowsy and I went to the land of dreams. I don’t know how long I slept listening to the great music.

Chapter 3I woke up to found that its pitch dark and but the song of orchestra was on. The moon was not visible as it climbed down the grassy slope behind us. I turned to my right to see the fire wood the fire was seized and red charcoal was glowing. There were shades of red in cracked charcoal. The light was glinting from one end to the other. The glint was completely random. I tried a lot to predict the glint but couldn’t. The glint was changing its moods with slight wind blow. Now my mind started playing, I tried to correlate the song and the glint. Sometimes they were synchronised, sometimes not. It was hard brain task which I was trying to do. This brought fatigue to my civilised brain. Off course, how can a glint synchronise with the surrounding sound which is independent. I was able to feel the warmth of red charcoal which was soothing.
